Chapter 065, I can't afford to provoke and hide
In February of the nineteenth year of Kangxi, Lin Xianyu was fiddling with a few pots of famous camellia newly sent by the flower house, and suddenly a familiar and old face appeared in front of him, "This must be Miss Wei." ”
Lin Xianyu was stunned at first, and then almost blurted out: Aunt Su Mala!
I still remember that the Empress Dowager was still the Empress Dowager, and Aunt Su Mala was only around forty years old, and she was a chubby and amiable grandmother. The years are not forgiving, in a blink of an eye, Aunt Su Mala is already an old lady with gray temples.
A little eunuch reminded in a low voice: "Sister Wei, this is Mama Su by the side of the Empress Dowager." ”
Lin Xianyu was busy and blessed, "Mama Su is auspicious." ”
Su Malagu smiled and bowed, "The old slave lived at this age, and he boasted that he had seen beauties, but he never thought that there was such a stunning appearance in the world. She had just seen from a distance that the camellia was in full bloom, and it was already beautiful, but the flower face was not as good as the human face. Su Malagu said secretly, no wonder even the emperor is ......
Lin Xianyu lowered his head, "Mama Su has won the award." Saying that, she hurriedly changed the topic, "Mama is here to visit the Queen Mother, right?" ”
Su Malagu smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager heard that the Empress Dowager has been coughing in the past few days, so she sent the old slave to take a look. ”
The queen mother actually didn't care, the spring was cold, and she kicked the quilt again last night, so she had a little cough this morning, and she had already summoned the imperial doctor and prescribed medicine.
The chief eunuch Kang Gonggong hurriedly greeted him, "The Queen Mother invites Mama Su into the palace." ”
Seeing that Gonggong Kang led Aunt Su into the hall, Lin Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief. In her previous life, she was very familiar with Aunt Su Mala, and it was still a friendship formed when she took care of the steamed bun version of Kangxi when she was pox, and at that time, the two of them often talked about the front and back harem, and it was a deed. Later, although they only interacted occasionally, Lin Xianyu still admired the talent of this old lady very much.
That's right, don't look at it as just an old woman, but she is proficient in Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese, and she is also quite insightful about the court. is worthy of being the henchman next to the boss of Xiaozhuang.
Lin Xianyu quietly opened the eye of heaven, and heard that Aunt Su Mala in the palace was just an ordinary condolence, but a deputy chief steward in front of the palace came to the Renshou Palace.
"Long live the Lord heard that the Queen Mother's phoenix body violated the harmony, and she will come over in the afternoon to serve the sick." So said the deputy chief.
Lin Xianyu: The Queen Mother just coughed twice, so let her take medicine and sleep well, and she was sick with a ball of yarn.
secretly complained, but she also understood that this was the rule in the palace. As a mascot, the queen mother's biggest use is not to let the emperor brush his filial piety.
At this moment, the Queen Mother had just drunk the medicine, so she had to cheer up and say: "The emperor has a heart." ”
Lin Xianyu glanced at the time on the enamel Western table clock, it was already more than twelve o'clock, which means that Kangxi would come in a while.
Lin Xianyu hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, your throat is uncomfortable, so go to the small kitchen to stew you a cup of pear soup." ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, seeing her intentions clearly, so she let out a faint "um" and closed her eyes to recuperate.
In fact, Lin Xianyu's cooking skills are very loose, stewing pear soup or something, just an excuse, she just went to the dining room of Renshou Hall to pass the word, and then stared at it from the side.
Staring at the cook, Eunuch Liu was a little hairy, and Eunuch Liu said: "Miss Wei, when the pear soup is ready, I will let the apprentice send it to the front hall." ”
Lin Xianyu said lightly: "No need, anyway, I'm idle." ”
Eunuch Liu: ......
Eunuch Liu was speechless for a while, so he told his little apprentice to watch the fire and go to work on other snacks.
The purple casserole is steaming, and Chuanbei, lotus seeds, and white fungus are added to it, and the soup is stewed clearly, and the smell is also very refreshing.
Lin Xianyu was bored, looked at the dark lines on his shoes, and said in his heart, the biggest advantage of being a palace maid is that she doesn't have to wear flowerpot shoes. Wearing a pair of flat dark pattern shoes all day long is easy and comfortable.
After all, whether the palace maid is a first-class, second-class or third-class woman, she is a servant, if she is wearing an unstable flower pot bottom, how can she serve the master?
Thinking of these messy things, someone suddenly called her behind her: "Sister Wei! ”
Lin Xianyu suddenly came back to his senses and blurted out, "Is the pear soup ready?" ”
The little eunuch said: "It's still early, it's the Queen Mother who sent you to the front hall." ”
Lin Xianyu secretly wondered, is Kangxi already gone after brushing up his filial piety? Still is......
However, the Queen Mother has been summoned, and of course Lin Xianyu must slip away.
Lin Xianyu walked quickly to the front, only to see several imperial eunuchs and palace maids standing outside the front hall, and knew that Kangxi was still "sick" inside!
Lin Xianyu: ...... Can't you hide from it?
Sighing, Lin Xianyu had to walk into the hall quickly, only to see the Queen Mother lying crooked on the couch near the window of the Warm Pavilion, covered with a ferret skin mattress, and the warm sunlight shone in, so the Queen Mother was a little sleepy.
However, Kangxi was in good spirits, sitting on a rosewood armchair, holding a medicine bowl in his hand, and feeding the Queen Mother medicine spoonful by spoonful.
When Lin Xianyu came in, he had almost finished feeding the medicine.
"The slave greets the Queen Mother, and the Emperor greets!" Although there was no one left and right at the moment, Lin Xianyu still saluted in a proper manner.
Kangxi put down the medicine bowl, and a smile appeared on his face, "There are no others here, you don't have to make this big gift." Hurry up. ”
The Queen Mother's eyelids jumped, and she said that the mourning family didn't know anything!
Lin Xianyu hurriedly said: "Etiquette cannot be abolished. Only then did he get up and bent his knees to the Queen Mother and said, "The pear soup you want is still lacking some heat and has not yet been boiled." ”
Kangxi said lightly: "These little things are for the servants to stare at, at this time, you should still stay with the emperor." ”
Lin Xianyu: Does the Queen Mother need someone to accompany her? The Queen Mother needs to take a nap even more now!
Lin Xianyu was a little unhappy, from childhood to adulthood, the Queen Mother is very interesting to you! Lin Xianyu whispered: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother usually takes a break at this time. ”
Kangxi nodded and said to the Queen Mother: "I also see that the emperor's spirit is a little weak, so it is better to ask the Wei family to wait for you to go inside to rest." ”
The queen smiled: "It's okay." ”
Lin Xianyu: Hmm??? Why does it feel like she and Kangxi are teaming up to break the Queen Mother??
But when it came to this, Lin Xianyu had no choice but to go up and pick up the Queen Mother, help her to the inner dormitory, and wait for her to lie down in wide clothes.
And then...... It seems that she is in line with the duty of a palace maid to guard the queen mother's bedside - but I also know that she can't go out if she doesn't go out.
The Queen Mother closed her eyes, "The mourning family doesn't know anything." ”
Lin Xianyu: ......
What else could she say, she had to put the curtain down, "Then you can rest." ”
Then he walked out hard-headed, and saw the emperor eating tea, looking very leisurely. Anyway, now that the three feudatories are undecided, are you an emperor, so idle?
Have you run to your mother's palace to hook up with her?
Lin Xianyu took a deep breath and curtched his knees and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has already fallen asleep." Your ...... every day is "Otherwise, you can get out of here!" Lin Xianyu said silently in his heart.
The emperor is a creature that he really can't afford to provoke and can't hide!
